The bridge reinforcement design course is an important professional course for the students in bridge engineering specialty. In this paper, combining with teaching practice, discussed the present problems of the bridge reinforcement design based on the application of new material. Practice showed that teaching case is introduced into the rich, multi-angle view all aspects of comparison, more questions to inspire thinking, combination with the engineering practice to strengthen the practical function, provided the beneficial reference for teaching reform of bridge reinforcement design based on the application of new material.
